Before we start

We’ll only use your SA Smart ID to set up and protect your TapAPI wallet. Tap Continue to agree to these:

TapAPI reads your SA Smart ID to verify you.
TapAPI confirms that you are the owner of your SA Smart ID.
TapAPI securely remembers your verification, so you won’t need to do this again.

🔒 Your identity stays private. We never sell your ID information, and share it only with the partners that make bank payouts and cards work. This takes less than one minute.

Point the camera at the barcode

Step 1 of 2 — Scan your ID barcode

Turn your SA Smart ID card over — the back has a barcode. Hold the phone like you’re taking a photo of the card. Move the card until the barcode is inside the yellow frame — it scans by itself. Got the old green ID book? Open your wallet with your cell number and add the book from inside it.

Step 1 of 3 — Downloading

Chrome asked “File might be harmful”?
Tap Download anyway. That starts the download.
No question asked? It downloaded quietly — tap the ↓ arrow at the top of Chrome, then tap the file.

The file SpeedPoint.apk is downloading.

Wait a few seconds for it to finish. Chrome does this quietly — you might not see anything change on the screen.

📲

Step 2 of 3 — Install the app

Find the file. Two easy ways:

Pull down from the top of the screen. Tap SpeedPoint.apk.
Or open your Files or Downloads app. Tap SpeedPoint.apk.

It asks “Install this app?” — tap Install.

Google Play Protect may check the app first — that is good. Let it scan. TapAPI is safe, and the scan proves it to you.

See a warning? Tap Install anyway. It is safe. Blocked with no Install anyway button at all? That is Auto Blocker — see the note at the top of this step.

When it is done, tap Done.
